You can read paywalled articles. You aren't considering that possibilty because you think you're entitled to everything for free, and you think your commentary is so valuable that it should always be made available to you because otherwise you can't participate? It isn't. If that's not your point, what is it?
We all block advirtisements, so if the pervasive attitude towards paying for written articles is hostile, what are we left with? I guess AI can replace human writers and that will be just fine.
Not every post is for everyone. (And like Rachel said, not reading an article has not typically prevented people from entering a discussion and I don't think it ever will. That's often perfectly fine, someone can offer insight in response to what people are saying in the comments.) Imagine an interesting, long form article written by an independent writer whose livelihood depends on subscriptions. So not a news story with many alternatives, in other words. Why shouldn't someone link to it, and say "here's a great article, I recommend subscribing to this writer?"
People who complain about article paywalls in comments are annoying and add nothing of any use to a discussion.
I usually associate it more with Intel since they certify Thunderbolt devices on all the non-Apple hardware and that's all I use. I forgot Apple had anything to do with it.
I really don't think even half of Trump voters voted for him because they think God wanted them to, and Trump voters don't make up half the population.
Its bright red, maybe toward purple! Brown is dark orange.
The phrase "rogue state" to me always just sorta meant "uncooperative with the United States," which the United States can't be. I'm sure there's a more useful definition.
I use it to make all decisions, including what I will do each day and what I will say to people. I take no responsibility for any of my actions. If someone doesn't like something I do, too bad. The genius AI knows better, and I only care about what it has to say.
I was using the flatpak on Linux.
This is not true. There are squirrels who relentlessly mock me and I have done nothing to deserve it.
All else being equal, having a 3d printer I can fold up and put away sounds pretty nice to me. I use mine once or twice a month and I could use that space for other things. Of course, all else is unlikely to be equal.
I loved opera back then.
I wonder if floorp has improved, because people are talking it up lately. My experience a few months ago was like yours, it was very buggy.
Catgirls, jackalgirls, all embarrassing. Go full-on furry.
That's awesome. Human expression is unpredictable and dangerous and the faster we move past it the better.
What a bizarre comment. People don't need to have what opinions are explained, do they?
Accidentally wound up with Ilford Delta ISO 3200 film. Can I use it, or should I return it?
